bzrsync 0.1

Tool to automatically synchronize Bazaar repositories between multiple nodes

BzrSync is a tool to help a developer using Bazaar on multiple machines. It automatically keeps selected repositories and branches synchronized across the machines. Bazaar itself is used for the synchronization (with “bzr pull”), ensuring consistency at all times.

Features

• any number of machines are supported

• consistency is guaranteed at all times

Installation

To install the latest stable version of BzrSync, using pip:

pip install bzrsync

or using setuptools:

easy_install bzrsync

Otherwise, if neither pip nor setuptools are available, it is possible to download (eg. from PyPI) the source package, extract it and run the usual setup.py commands:

python setup.py install

Help and Development

Alternatively, if you’d like to update the software occasionally to pick up the latest bug fixes and enhancements before they make it into an offical release, branch from the Bazaar repository hosted on LaunchPad instead. Just follow the procedure outlined below:

1. Make sure that you have Bazaar installed, and that you can run its commands from a shell. (Enter bzr help at a shell prompt to test this.)

2. Create a local branch and working tree from the official one:

   bzr branch lp:bzrsync bzrsync

3. Then from the bzrsync directory you can run the setup.py develop command to install the library in your Python site-packages directory using a link, which allows to continue developing inside the working tree without the need to re-install after every change. See the setuptools development mode documention for more information:

   $ sudo
   # python setup.py develop
